Check a verification batch's status
Returns a batch's status (queued, processing or completed) and, with with-stats=true, how many addresses it has processed and its count of each verification status.
Note: Poll about every 10 seconds until status is completed. credits is filled in only once the batch completes.
Set up
Use the first option your agent supports.
MCP (official, remote)
Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.
{ "mcpServers": { "bouncer": { "url": "https://api.usebouncer.com/mcp" } } }
Call the MCP tool check_batch_status.
Server URL: https://api.usebouncer.com/mcp
API (official)
- Base URL: https://api.usebouncer.com
- Endpoint:
GET /v1.1/email/verify/batch/{batchId} - Auth: send the header
x-api-key: $BOUNCER_API_KEY - Get a key: https://app.usebouncer.com
- Docs: https://docs.usebouncer.com/quick-start
Note: Create the key in the app's API section. Batch jobs run one after another per account, so a 100,000-address batch delays the next one.
Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.
Rules
- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
